| Summary of dataset content: | Cored samples of peat taken from investigated mires.
|
| Original application: | Investigated mire and determination of its peat (mire type, peat types, peat resources, physical properties of peat, suitability for peat production, and usability for various purposes). The information has been published in municipality-specific peat survey reports that hold general information about each mire studied and the applicability of these for e.g. energy, horticultural and environmental peat production, as well as for conservation purposes.
